Pakistan's prime minister says his country needs help responding to a flood disaster that has affected six million people.

Yousaf Raza Gilani's government and the United Nations have asked for more than $350m dollars in foreign donations, as a UN team says nearly every district in the southern Sindh province has seen flooding.
